Or PoS Ethereum or other PoS crypto currencies can take the place of exponentially energy-hungry PoW. They explicitly deal with the 50%+ attacks in their governance too.

I don't know much about ET, but Parkinson's medication increases dosage based on worsening symptoms, so this seems pretty helpful in keeping symptoms and medication in check.

The article mentions: "The paper also suggests the tool helped pinpoint people who slipped on medication adherence, as well as cases in which a person might benefit from a modified medication regimen."

This is all conditional on Oracle actually giving others a proprietary license like Azul received. Oracle can say no, and in this case they might actually have given that it's ARM and not some proprietary chip that only Azul makes and

Latency is important as you say, and I would say that it's highly variable depending on the router and ISP you have. This Google mesh WiFi update made a huge difference for me: https://support.google.com/wifi/answe

These are all things that consoles and existing game stores do extremely well already, and the last two are net deficits for Stadia if you have an ISP or router that's not up to the job. Amazon Luna, GeForce Now, Shadow, running Parsec

This is really a distinction without a difference, none of these companies choose to forego a OpenJDK distribution and all of them actually contribute to it. If it wasn't compelling to do these things, they wouldn't do it. FOSS an

Redhat is a big contributor to OpenJDK, so there's really less of a "maybe not" than you think. Even Azul maintains an OpenJDK distribution, so copyleft is playing a part in keeping things more open and supported than not.

In their trademark guidelines they say: "Never use or register any trademarks that are confusingly similar to, or a play on, the OSI or OSI Logo." As a listed example it's unacceptable to say: "Open Source Project."

I think a FP16 or BF16 ALU could be added sooner rather than later, but getting something equivalent to the performance of say a Nvidia 1050 or 1080 (first consumer cards to have FP16 and INT8 from Nvidia I think) would take a couple of ite

It mentions support for INT8 for ML/AI. FP16 and BF16 support isn't explicitly mentioned, but it does support 8/16/32-bit fixed/float scalars and vectors, so it could be added later.

You can actually go see blown-up individual mask traces (how they made the chip) for at least some of the layers at the Intel Museum in Santa Clara. edit (some more info): http://intel4004.com/current_intel_museum.htm

A good hedge fund knows how to hedge the risky investments they make, and if they're just betting, they should know someone else might get the other side. It could be another fund/investor, but it's WSB this time. I think the

It is, but the Firestorm cores can do 2x more scalar FP executions per clock than Zen 3. Still, for a full browser benchmark like Speedometer 2, I would've liked to see better results from 5800H/U given their large cache bumps fro

That doesn't sound so good, but I can do one better. The 4 FP EUs/core on the M1 (x64 has 2) that likely lead to this result might also lead other languages to use more floats and doubles.

They do have Xe-graphics now. It's the closed Intel has come to a competitive non-x86 part in recent memory. It feels kind of forced though, everyone else has their own CPU+GPU now including Apple/Nvidia in addition to AMD/QC
